However, I cannot fathom what the lack of arms on this robotic monstrosity means. I'm feeling a vibe of helplessness, but maybe it's meant to show frustration, as a robot that can never even pleasure itself because of its lack of appendages.

LOL :D

Nice drawing!

Good job. Need a katana on one hand and a big gun on the other hand and this mech is ready.

Is that just a direct scan of the image or did you clean it up with an image editor? A lot of concept are for video games always looks exactly like this and I have always wondered how they do it so cleanly. Are the outlines drawn in pen? Usually people use this stroke BS technique when they are drawing something and it looks horrible. Your's looks like professional quality.

It's cleaned up a bit in Photoshop, but not very much. Just some crap on the paper, and the outline was increased a bit.
